I attained immortality in the real world.

Chapter 27 The Prime Minister of Emperor Wenzong
Xiuxian!

Do not conform to others.

Others laugh at my madness, but I laugh at their ignorance.

Chen Jing is not truly autistic. Although he is immersed in his own world, there is no difference between his autistic world and reality.

It's not that he's not embarrassed, but rather that he makes people not feel embarrassed.

Therefore, I didn't linger at the market, but brought fresh ingredients home and cooked a fairly sumptuous meal.

Limited by my cooking skills, it's not bad but not particularly delicious either. The taste is even worse than pre-made food. It's just healthier and less boring.

"The first chapter: The Method of Concealing Truth in the White Lotus Without Heart. After mastering the three steps of entering meditation, visualization, and concealing truth, the next chapter is the second chapter of the Lotus Heart Seal Method, the Secret of Forging the Heart with the Seven Desires Lotus: Constructing Form, Dyeing the Lotus, Forging the Heart..."

Chen Jing reviewed the contents of the cultivation technique, but did not rush to start practicing. He activated the Yuan Realm pod and logged into the Yuan Realm again.

When consciousness descended upon Xiaotuanshan, the grass and trees remained largely unchanged, except that the wild grass under the withered trees had turned slightly yellow.

The main god's sphere of light flickered: "Welcome back to the Metaverse."

It has been half a month since I left the Realm of No Form to cultivate.

The first chapter of the cultivation method was completed in fifteen days. Without comparison, it's hard to tell whether it's considered fast or slow.

But compared to cultivation speed, Chen Jing cared more about cultivation safety. He walked to a golden peach leaf on the thousand-year-old peach tree and gently tapped it with his finger: "Enter!"

next moment.

Chen Jing's consciousness entered the Peach Leaf Space.

A semi-transparent light screen was brought up, and the simulation experiment parameters were rewritten.

After mastering the first chapter of the Lotus Heart Seal Method, one can refine the 'Hidden Truth' parameters through comprehension, thereby improving the accuracy of simulation experiments.

With a snap of his fingers, he summoned the main god's light sphere and commanded, "Based on the existing parameters, conduct the fourth simulation experiment."

[The fourth simulation experiment of the Lotus Heart Seal practice begins.]

The supreme deity cast down a radiant light that enveloped the faceless puppet, which then evolved at a speed imperceptible to the naked eye.

Half an hour later, a cold notification sounded: "Results of this simulation: 46% probability of developing a serious mental illness, 29% probability of successfully cultivating the secret manual, 6% probability of unknown changes, and 18% probability of failing to meet the cultivation requirements."

The success rate of the third simulation was 2%, an increase of 27%.

The probability of going insane in the third simulation was 16%, an increase of 30%.

The reason for such a large change in the data is that Chen Jing has already completed the stages of meditation, visualization, and concealing the true nature, which means there is no entry barrier. Even so, 18% of people are still unable to perform the subsequent steps and cannot practice the Lotus Heart Seal Method.

Although the rate of madness has increased even more.

However, proportionally speaking, for every one completed, eight madmen would be born.

Now it's about three madmen born for every two that are repaired, which is already developing in a positive direction.

After reviewing the fourth simulation report, Chen Jing decided to continue his cultivation. After all, the Hidden Truth had been proven to be effective, and the key was to ensure that the two steps of Forging the Heart and Imprinting the Heart went smoothly.

"........."

"Step Four: Phase Construction!"

"Among the masses, each person is unique; those who live in groups are of a certain kind, while those who are aloof and independent are distinct."

"This step is risk-free and can be completed quickly with the help of the physiognomy system. However, the completion of the physiognomy is closely related to the fifth step of dyeing the lotus."

Chen Jing frowned and fell into deep thought. It wasn't that he had no cultivation ideas, but rather that there were too many options to choose from, and he was torn about which form to take when he was conflicted.
The countenance of an emperor: with inner grace, supreme nobility, unpredictable mood swings, overwhelming power, and absolute authority...

A prime minister is characterized by quick wit, eloquence, keen insight into current affairs, and skill in managing people.

The countenance of a general, the countenance of a powerful minister, the countenance of a feudal lord, the countenance of a wealthy merchant, the countenance of a talented scholar...

Chen Jing first ruled out the appearance of an emperor, as this appearance only comes into play when one is in a chaotic world or already holds a high position.

Then exclude those related to military professions, as these are too sharp and can easily backfire.

Considering the incomplete main questline of the Realm of No Form, the final choice was the Civil Service Position, which was versatile and related to administrative duties. "Clap!"

Chen Jing snapped his fingers again.

A crack appeared in the void dome of Peach Leaf Space, revealing a huge golden eye.

The physiognomy system instructed: "You are permitted to utilize all available computing power to create a physiognomy chart of 'Emperor Wenzong'."

The voice just fell.

The one thousand faceless puppets underwent changes.

Unlike the way of establishing a connection with the main god by being enveloped in light, the physiognomy system imprints a dark, golden vertical eye mark between the doll's eyebrows.

The faceless dolls transform into all sorts of humans. The term "literary sage" is a general term that can be broken down into multiple traits. Therefore, the dolls used as source material are based on real people in the real world, as well as portraits of ancient sages and literati.

The era of the sages is so long ago that even if there were self-portraits, they would be hard to preserve to this day. Most portraits are just figments of imagination by later generations. But a portrait that can be recognized by countless people is itself a portrait.

"drop!"

The physiognomy system was deduced over a period of one hour.

After continuous selection and fusion, only one faceless doll remained with a face.

At this point, the fourth step of the plan was not yet completed.

The physiognomy chart, which embodies the physiognomy of the literati, is merely a display of its effects.

Chen Jing also needs to use physiognomy to analyze the heart that constitutes the appearance of a scholar, so that he can know how to use a white lotus to dye a wicked lotus, just like perfecting a construction blueprint.

"The physiognomy system has its limits because it can't read people's hearts. It's my turn to step in!"

Chen Jing walked up to the Wenzong puppet and watched it closely as it moved, sometimes reciting poems and ancient verses, sometimes wielding brush and ink, and sometimes closing its eyes to meditate.

For the next three days, aside from eating and sleeping, he stayed in the Peach Leaf Space of the Primordial Realm for secluded cultivation.

The level of physiognomy has been continuously improving, especially in the area of ​​observing the spirit.

As time went by, more and more of the thoughts that constituted Emperor Wenzong's appearance were analyzed, and the image of Emperor Wenzong's appearance gradually became blurred in my mind.
Looking at the Wenzong puppet for the last time, Chen Jing closed his eyes and pondered for a long time. In the end, he completely forgot the appearance of the Wenzong puppet. He shattered the Wenzong puppet with a finger and murmured, "Finally completed! Fourth step: Constructing the form."

"…………"

Complete the fourth step: phase configuration.

Chen Jing withdrew from the Yuan Realm again, not thinking about anything or doing anything. He slept until the sun rose the next day, and then prepared to cultivate the fifth step: Dyeing Lotus in one go.

"Dyeing the lotus, dyeing the heart"—the commonly used term "brainwashing" merely uses language to guide your thinking to change on its own. But "dyeing the heart" is clearly much more direct than brainwashing. It's like someone else entering your mind and brainwashing you; this step involves the mind, meaning there's a risk of developing mental illness.

[Enter a meditative state!]

Chen Jing sat cross-legged on the bed, his hands forming the lotus mudra as he entered a meditative state.

In the void of consciousness, a white lotus flower blooms in the void, its entire body untouched by any other color.

Inside the lotus platform is a seven-colored lotus seed, which is both a prison for one's own thoughts and self, and a barrier to protect oneself from being corrupted.

With a single thought, a consciousness existing at the boundary between chaos and clarity begins to dye the white lotus into a heart lotus that can manifest the image of a scholar, according to the method of dyeing lotus obtained from the formation of form.

To dye, you need dye.

The dye is Chen Jing's heart, desires, emotions, thoughts...

These dyes will not decrease even after use, but their upper limit is linked to Chen Jing's own mental strength. The source of the Emperor Wenzong's talent is also mental strength.

If one's mental strength is insufficient to activate the divine form, then although the form is formed, it will not have the desired effect.

For example, building the appearance of a general requires authority. If a person's mental strength is insufficient, even if they possess the appearance of a general, they will not only fail to command respect, but will also be seen as a provocation, which will have the opposite effect.

The "zong" in "Wenzong" also needs authority, not in the form of a fierce or malevolent force, but in the kind of presence that commands respect and authority.

However, Chen Jing wasn't too worried about this. His mental strength wasn't weak, and the method of manifesting sainthood was probably enough!
